Funny how the exact same boiling water softens a potato and hardens an egg. It’s rarely about the situation you’re in.. it’s about what you’re made of.

At 11:00 on 11/11 the guns fell silent.
Today we honour those who gave everything and never came home.

On Remembrance Day, we honour our veterans and those who did not come home. We also thank those who serve our country in uniform today.
We will remember them.

Today, America is making a choice between fighting for its democracy or becoming authoritarian Russia's vassal state. Choose wisely.

Coaches: Stop trying to motivate players every day.
Build habits instead.
Motivation comes and goes. Standards remain.
The goal is to create a team that knows how to work, communicate, compete, and respond… even when nobody feels motivated.
That’s culture.

20 years as a varsity head coach taught me this:
Talent wins games.
Culture wins seasons.
Same at work. You can hire skill. You have to build the culture that keeps it.

🇨🇦 A FRIENDLY PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TO AMERICANS TRAVELLING ABROAD.
We’ve heard that some of you sew Canadian flags onto your backpacks to get a warmer welcome overseas.
We understand. Canadians are generally pretty well liked around the world, and we’re flattered that you’d like to borrow a little of that maple-leaf magic.
But to our friends around the world, a few tongue-in-cheek tips for spotting a counterfeit Canadian:
• We won’t ask if you speak American.
• We won’t speak loudly and slowly in American, assuming that will help you understand us better.
• Many of us speak at least two languages. Some speak three or four or more.
• We won’t look shocked when we discover your country doesn’t use dollars.
• We won’t assume everyone knows who our prime minister is.
• We know Europe isn’t a country.
• We won’t always be wearing shorts, white socks and running shoes.
• We won’t wear a baseball cap at the dinner table in a restaurant.
And one final question: Has anyone, anywhere, EVER heard of a Canadian sewing an American flag onto their backpack to get treated better?
We’re genuinely curious.
To our American friends, if you’re going to borrow our identity, at least learn how to pronounce Saskatchewan.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🇨🇦

Create the standards to meet the expectation.
Focus on the process and the results will follow.
Daily habits, discipline and investment in your team. That’s the #BCM way.
Coach Benoît 🇨🇦 retweeted
Negativity doesn’t stay with one person. It spreads.
And what we allow, we encourage.
If someone is draining the energy of your team, don’t ignore it.
Confront them. Coach them. Love them. Give them the opportunity to change.
But if they refuse to change, you have to protect the team and the mission.
Great leaders don’t avoid the hard conversations.
They have them because they care enough about their people to protect the culture they’re building.

Nick Saban asked his team a simple question:
“Do we have show dogs on the team, or do we have hunting dogs?”
Show dogs want to be seen.
Hunting dogs want to win.
The answer tells you everything about your culture. 🏆
